Human Rights [1]

The University of Windsor is committed to upholding the Ontario Human Rights Code (OHRC) which prohibits discrimination and harassment on the following grounds: race, ancestry, place of origin, colour, ethnic origin, citizenship [2], sex [3], creed [4](religion), disability [5], age [6], marital status, family status [7], sexual orientation [8], gender identity and gender expression [9], receipt of public assistance [10] (in accommodation only), and record of offences [11](in employment only).

Resolution of Complaints:

  • A safe environment to voice concerns should one feel they have been treated unfairly, discriminated against or harassed (Code-related)
  • Investigate and manage the fact-finding process for complaints in a consistent, timely and fair manner
  • Assist those involved in disputes or complaint resolutions to acquire needed assistance or support

There are three processes available at the University for dealing with human rights issues:

  • informal complaint process
  • mediated resolution
  • formal complaint process

What is Our Commitment to Confidentiality?
